Right after the boys were done with their first day of school we whisked them off on our long awaited vacation. We stopped in Vegas overnight. (Yay for free neat stuff like the Bellagio fountain and Mirage volcano. Boo for bad service at Excalibur and all the, uh, inappropriate billboards. The boys kept saying "Close your eyes!" from the backseat.)

In the morning we continued on to Utah and made it to Vernal that evening. We had a wonderful time with family there for a few days. I have an embarrassingly few amount of pictures, but I highly recommend visiting. Heather and Tyler made sure we had a good time and planned train rides, tubing on the lake, and awesome meals. I'm glad the boys got to spend some time with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who they don't get to see very often.

For the second half of the week we headed out to Heber for Ryan's family reunion. We had fun camping there (at the new and huge Heber Valley Camp), playing games, doing obstacle courses, playing more games, dancing, canoeing, eating, playing games, having plasma car races, and playing more games. I married into a pretty good family.

Fun week. Definitely worth missing school for.
